more from the night THEY came home

THE LIGHTS OF JULY

The largest ever UFO sighting in Irish history, known as The Kilcullen Incident, took place four years ago after midnight on 23rd June 2006. It was followed by a more limited sighting in July of 2006. The second sighting differed from the first in that it was much shorter, took place at dusk, and featured fewer airborne objects. The objects in the second sighting also differed in that they radiated red light while the objects in the earlier sighting radiated white light. This is the only known photo of the July sighting.

The general consensus is that both sightings consisted of parachute flares discharged by the Irish army while on manoeuvres in the Wicklow mountains, and nothing more.
